FOR RESTAURANTS

FILL EVERY TABLE KEEP EVERY DOLLAR

Instaurant is everything a restaurant needs on its website: online ordering with no delivery-app cut, reservations, a menu you change in seconds, and a Smart Chat that takes orders day and night.
ONE SYSTEM, NOT FIVE APPS
Today most restaurants juggle a website, a delivery app, a booking tool and a POS, each with its own fee and its own login. Instaurant brings it all into one system we build for you, where ordering, reservations, your menu and chat work together, it is built to be found on Google to help pull in new diners, and nothing skims your sales.
It does what Toast, ChowNow and the delivery apps do, without renting your guests back to you or skimming a cut of every plate, and we design the whole thing for you, $99.
No booking tool, no ordering tool, no separate menu plugin, no four bills. Everything below is built into the site for one price, $99, paid once. Tap or hover any line to read what it does on a service.
  • The menu
    • Your menu on the page as a priced listDishes run down the page with the price at the end of each line, in the layout a printed menu uses.
    • Dishes grouped into coursesStarters, mains and desserts sit in their own groups, so a long menu reads in sections instead of one list.
    • The photograph opens from the menu lineA small thumbnail on the dish opens the full picture when a guest hovers it, so they see what they are ordering.
    • Sizes and choices with their own pricesOne dish can carry sizes or variants, each priced separately, instead of a note telling the guest to ask.
    • Extras added to a dish when it is orderedSides, toppings and swaps attach to the dish and add their own price to the order total.
    • Dishes marked sold outWhen the kitchen runs out you mark the dish, and guests stop ordering it instead of hearing about it later.
  • Reservations
    • Tables reserved on the siteGuests pick a date and a time on your page and the reservation lands in your book, with nobody writing it down.
    • Party size decides what is offeredThe times shown count the covers already booked against the ones you have, so a table for eight is offered only when it exists.
    • A deposit taken on the bookingYou set an amount a party pays to hold the table, so a large booking is one somebody has committed to.
    • Closed days and holidaysYour normal week is set once. Days you close override it, so nobody reserves a table on a holiday.
    • Text reminders before the bookingA message goes to the guest ahead of the reservation, so fewer tables are held for people who do not arrive.
    • Guests reschedule or cancel themselvesThey move or cancel from a link, and the table goes back on sale for somebody else.
  • Ordering and the kitchen
    • Ordering straight from the menuEach dish carries its own add button, so a guest builds the order out of the list they are already reading.
    • Card payment on your own siteGuests pay by card on your pages. The money goes to your account and you see what it was for.
    • Orders placed for a later timeA guest chooses when they want the order ready, so a party order for tomorrow can be placed today.
    • A tip added at the tillGuests add a gratuity when they pay, and it appears as its own line on the order and the receipt.
    • Texts as the order movesReceived, preparing, ready. The guest is told at each step, so the phone stops ringing with the same question.
    • A kitchen board on a tabletOpen orders show on a screen in the kitchen, sorted by when they are due, and staff tap them off as they go.
  • Guests reaching you
    • Smart Chat answering at any hourA chat on your site answers the usual questions late at night and on a Sunday, when people are deciding where to eat.
    • A phone number asked for firstThe chat takes a number before anything else, so an enquiry at eleven at night is still someone you can call back.
    • Texts from your own numberMessages to guests come from your restaurant number, and their replies come back into the same thread.
    • WhatsApp where a text will not reachThe same conversation runs over WhatsApp for guests who use it, so messages still arrive.
    • You take over the conversationWhen a question needs a person, you pick up the same chat. The guest does not start from the beginning.
    • Review requests after the visitA short message goes out after the meal asking for a review, while the guest still remembers it.
  • Regulars
    • Reviews on the pageThe reviews you approve appear on the site, where somebody choosing where to eat tonight will read them.
    • Points collected on what guests spendGuests earn points on their orders and spend them later, so coming back a fifth time is worth something.
    • Gift cards sold on the siteA guest buys a gift card with a code, and the balance comes off whatever the holder orders later.
    • Discount codesYou set a code for a promotion or a regular, with rules for what it applies to and how often it can be used.
    • A record for every guestEach guest has their past orders, reservations and spend in one place, so a regular is recognised at the door.
  • The site itself
    • Hours and address held in one placeYou set your week once. The same hours show on the page and decide which reservation times are offered.
    • Map and directionsYour address shows on a map with directions, so a guest finds the door on the first attempt.
    • Photographs of the food at full widthYour pictures run large across the page in a carousel, instead of a row of thumbnails nobody looks at.
    • You change your own prices, photos and textDishes, prices and hours are yours to edit from the site itself. A price change does not wait on anyone.
    • Titles, descriptions and structure for searchEvery page ships with its title, description and heading structure written for search. Ongoing SEO work is a separate service.

GET FOUND. KEEP THE ORDER

Search your restaurant right now and a delivery app is probably sitting at the top, charging your customers to order the food you make and skimming a cut from you too. We build your site fast, search-ready and tied to your Google profile, so it can compete for your own name. And wherever a diner finds you, your Google listing, your socials or a table QR code, they order on your site, commission-free.
    • Built to be foundFast, clean, search-ready pages tied to your Google profile, so your own site competes for your name instead of ceding it to the apps.
    • Ready for local searchYour menu, area and hours are readable to Google, so you have a real shot at showing up when locals search for what you serve nearby.
    • Keep the dinerThey land on your site, order commission-free, and join your list, so their next order skips the app for good.
WHY SWITCH

KEEP YOUR PROFIT AND YOUR GUESTS

The delivery apps take 15 to 30 percent of every order and own your customers. A separate website, ordering tool and reservation app add up fast. Instaurant is one system at one flat price, built to be found on Google so more diners can come straight to you, and every guest stays yours.
